Leathers! What a great way to make an affordable wristwatch, right? They make the timepiece stylish and classic looking. They have been considered the originals because all watches made in the early 1800s were made with leather-skinned straps. That is the main reason these kinds of watches were deemed timeless treasures.
Originally, watches were first worn and exclusively made for women since all men used pocket watches in the 16th century, but since then, leather-strapped timepieces have been the most popular ones. But as time goes by, technology has taken its toll even with the design of wristwatches. Here are some of the leather strap ones you should check out.
